@YahooOmgUK – This gives me my celebrity fix, as I feel really out of touch over in Singapore.

Any further recommendations for expats looking to use Twitter?

It's great for finding other expats or people with the same interests or in the same situation as you. Use hashtags to find people to follow, for example #expat. If you want to get more followers tweet regularly and try to avoid giving a blow-by-blow account of your day.
